fs/pstore: logging clean-up

2014-06-06T23:08:13Z

- Define pr_fmt in plateform.c and ram_core.c for global prefix. - Coalesce format fragments. - Separate format/arguments on lines > 80 characters. Note: Some pr_foo() were initially declared without prefix and therefore this could break existing log analyzer.

pstore: Fix memory leak when decompress using big_oops_buf

2014-03-17T21:14:03Z

After sucessful decompressing, the buffer which pointed by 'buf' will be lost as 'buf' is overwrite by 'big_oops_buf' and will never be freed. Signed-off-by: Liu ShuoX Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

pstore: Don't allow high traffic options on fragile devices

2013-12-20T21:12:01Z

Some pstore backing devices use on board flash as persistent storage. These have limited numbers of write cycles so it is a poor idea to use them from high frequency operations. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pstore: Remove the messages related to compression failure

2013-09-16T16:28:29Z

Remove the messages indicating compression failure as it will add to the space during panic path. Reported-by: Seiji Aguchi Tested-by: Seiji Aguchi Signed-off-by: Aruna Balakrishnaiah Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

pstore: Use zlib_inflateInit2 instead of zlib_inflateInit

2013-09-16T16:28:29Z

Since zlib_deflateInit2() is used for specifying window bit during compression, zlib_inflateInit2() is appropriate for decompression. Reported-by: Seiji Aguchi Tested-by: Seiji Aguchi Signed-off-by: Aruna Balakrishnaiah Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

pstore: Adjust buffer size for compression for smaller registered buffers

2013-09-16T16:28:28Z

When backends (ex: efivars) have smaller registered buffers, the big_oops_buf is too big for them as number of repeated occurences in the text captured will be less. What happens is that pstore takes too big a bite from the dmesg log and then finds it cannot compress it enough to meet the backend block size. Patch takes care of adjusting the buffer size based on the registered buffer size. cmpr values have been arrived after doing experiments with plain text for buffers of size 1k - 4k (Smaller the buffer size repeated occurence will be less) and with sample crash log for buffers ranging from 4k - 10k.

pstore: Add file extension to pstore file if compressed

2013-08-19T18:53:27Z

In case decompression fails, add a ".enc.z" to indicate the file has compressed data. This will help user space utilities to figure out the file contents. Signed-off-by: Aruna Balakrishnaiah Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

pstore: Add decompression support to pstore

2013-08-19T18:53:20Z

Based on the flag 'compressed' set or not, pstore will decompress the data returning a plain text file. If decompression fails for a particular record it will have the compressed data in the file which can be decompressed with 'openssl' command line tool.

pstore: Introduce new argument 'compressed' in the read callback

2013-08-19T17:18:11Z

Backends will set the flag 'compressed' after reading the log from persistent store to indicate the data being returned to pstore is compressed or not. Signed-off-by: Aruna Balakrishnaiah Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

pstore: Add compression support to pstore

2013-08-19T17:18:11Z

Add compression support to pstore which will help in capturing more data. Initially, pstore will make a call to kmsg_dump with a bigger buffer and will pass the size of bigger buffer to kmsg_dump and then compress the data to registered buffer of registered size. In case compression fails, pstore will capture the uncompressed data by making a call again to kmsg_dump with registered_buffer of registered size. Pstore will indicate the data is compressed or not with a flag in the write callback. Signed-off-by: Aruna Balakrishnaiah Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tony Luck
